Review: Bassist Cohen’s latest disc is full of original instrumental compositions, and one traditional song, The music’s been clearly identified with his own unique and defining DNA. There are traces of classical music and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. There’s bebop and hard bop, swing and hiphop. But with every new album his own personality shines through more emphatically. The tracks switch from a standard piano trio to a full quintet.
